: Sometimes you get discouraged
: Because I am so small
: And always leave my fingerprints
: On furniture and walls
: But every day I'm growing -
: I'll be grown some day
: And all those tiny handprints
: Will surely fade away
: So here's a little handprint
: Just so you can recall
: Exactly how my fingers looked
: When I was very small

: Tiny Handprints Poem
: Tiny handprints grow so fast
: Their awkward groping soon will grasp
: A ball, a book, a sweetheart's hand
: A diploma, briefcase, wedding band
: Tiny handprints grow so strong
: It doesn't take them very long
: To snap a shirt, to paint, to draw
: To labor hard, to drive a car
: Tiny handprints grow to be, A person that is quite unique
: A wonderful mix of so many things
: With his own feelings, thoughts and dreams
: Tiny handprints grow to rely
: On his parents to bring him up just right
: His parents pray that when he's grown
: He'll say their job has been well done
: Tiny handprints are ours to love
: The sweetest gift from God above
: A miracle that never is surpassed
: How sad they grow up way to fast

: This isn't just a valentine
: As you can plainly see
: It is of course my handprint
: Which is a part of me
: It's bigger than the last one
: Smaller than the next will be
: Given to you with lots of love
: From sweet and precious me
: __________________________________________________
: Here is my handprint for you to keep,
: So that when I grow BIG and TALL,
: You'll always be able to look back and see,
: How I once was very small.
